If someone’s sick and you avoid them like the plague, is that considered irony or just good hygiene? Eldest Daughter was sick in bed all weekend. I brought her everything she needed from Tylenol to toast. But I definitely kept my distance.

Junior has learned to play backgammon. We played a bunch of games over the weekend and I gave him a few pointers. He’s beaten me twice now. I think now I see the error of my ways.

Youngest Daughter and I watched Junior march in the Veterans’ Day parade on Saturday. It was a nice parade, with lots of troops home from Iraq. Welcome home, now put your boots back on and march down Main Street… Nice!

Pig #2 was delivered on time yesterday. The trick is to put the feed trough in the trailer several days ahead of time. And then the day before we locked her in. It was a delightful experience for everybody and the farm is now pig-free.

I’m sitting here at car fix-it-up place #2 of the day. This morning I took my truck to the dealer to get its window motor fixed. Now I’m at a different place getting the A/C worked on. Can’t defog the windshield without that!

That’s about it. I’d better send this before my battery runs out!
